About Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender with 40oz Glass Jar and 3-Cup Vegetable Chopper
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
69% highlighted the variety of speed settings, though 31% wanted more options.
On the highest speed, I have to stop the blender and use the lower speed, which eventually blends everything, but it takes a while.
69% appreciated the safety features, although 31% had concerns.
The sharp blade is only at the bottom of the blender, making it safer for my 2.5 year old toddler to help me make smoothies.
I warn about the safety feature of the blender. The blade to the chopper is in unsealed plastic, which can be dangerous.
The cutters/blades are extremely sharp and can cause marks if washed by hand.
The chopper lid can be opened while the cutter is spinning at high speed. I almost opened it while it was running, being used to my old chopper that had a safety switch built in.

83% found it exceptionally quite, but 17% raised concerns.
I rated the blender a 4 for noise level as it is loud, but not louder than an average blender.
I measured the sound of the blender at 90 decibels, comparable to some power tools and just below a snowmobile's sound.
On the lowest speed, the blender's noise level is terrible.
The product makes a loud noise that can disturb neighbors or harm ears.

71% liked how easy it is to clean
Cleaning the countertop-blender is easy and it is easy to disassemble and assemble it back together.
Clean-up is easy because all the pieces are dishwasher safe.
I initially thought it would be difficult to clean, but was pleasantly surprised to find it very easy with no mess or fuss.
The easy-clean feature helps remove bits of food that can get stuck in the blades.

71% appreciated its durability, yet 29% had issues with wear.
I have been using the blender for 18 months and am impressed with the durability of the glass blender jar.
I have been using the blender for over 2 years and it still works great.
I gave the blender points for durability as it lasted for 5 years.
The collar that mates the blades to the pitcher is made of extremely thin and brittle plastic.
